Description

<p> One of the values that we have at Uplift Kids is helping families be intentional together, and this can look many, many different ways. </p><p>Without *some* intentional time, there can be drifting apart and a lack of meaning. So we wanted to talk about ways to be intentional.</p><p>One of the sources that we&#39;ve pulled from in this episode is a book called The Intentional Family by a family therapist named William Doherty. Doherty talks about the need to balance rigidity and flexibility.</p><p>This approach — an approach that might be called a &quot;wisdom approach&quot; — is something that we explore and hold to consistently at Uplift Kids. It&#39;s a &quot;both-and&quot; approach rather than an &quot;either-or&quot; approach. And so the idea here is that we want to find a way to have a bit of structure and flexibility, meaning *some* time together.</p><p>In this episode we explore ways to make intentional time together.</p>
